Hi Roberta,

When in doubt about how to place the ingredients in your bread machine, use this order:

bottom: liquids and fat
next: salt, seasonings and additions
then: flour (make a well in the center)
on top: the yeast (in the well in flour)

I've found this order works best for me even in machines that call for flour on the bottom. They seem to mix better when the blade is moving the liquids around first rather than flour.

Happy Baking!
